Baillie would be responsible for the overall capital management of MLC Insurance, which included the areas of treasury, corporate finance, business planning and reinsurance strategy.
He was a qualified actuary with over 30 years’ life insurance experience in Australia and overseas, primarily with global insurance groups.
He had extensive experience in capital management and asset liability management.
Prior to joining MLC Life Insurance, Robert was the head of actuarial (capital and ALM) at TAL since 2015.
Both would report to CFO, Kent Griffin, who said the appointments would help strengthen the company’s goal to be sustainable in the long-term.

“Our sector is undergoing significant change. We are bringing in the right expertise to help us navigate these challenges and continue to deliver on the promises we make to our customers and business partners.”
